Waste Sorting

Veridis is committed to the development and improvement of sorting solutions. Advanced processes enable identifying, separating and preparing waste materials for industrial and agricultural reuse. Our MRFs meet strict international standards.

Veridis’ recovery solutions are based on high-tech processes and innovative equipment:

Optical devices for extracting PET, HDPE

Optical devices for extracting non-transparents

Optical devices for extracting cardboard and paper

Magnetic separation of metals and other devices for separation of non-metals

Our Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) handle and recycle a range of materials, including plastic bags, PET and HDPE, paper and cardboard, metals, non-metals and various types of plastic (PP and LDPE).

Afula Waste Sorting Facility

Veridis’ Afula Waste Sorting Facility has established new standards in Israel for separating materials and making them available for reuse.

The facility receives nearly 800 tons of waste each day, and consistently manages to reclaim a remarkably high percentage of waste for reuse. The output is marketed to industrial plants for use in advanced manufacturing processes.

RDF – Solid Fuels

Veridis is a pioneer in developing and applying technologies for the production of solid fuels in Israel.

Solid recovered fuel (SRF), also known as refuse-derived fuel (RDF), is dry, non-hazardous waste used as alternative fuel in energy production plants. Among other things, RDF can be used as a fuel for co-incineration in facilities such as cement plants furnaces and coal-fueled power plants.

RDF Hiriya

Veridis’ materials recovery facility at Hiriya is the largest, most advanced RDF plant in the world. It is also the first in Israel to implement RDF from household waste technology.

The facility will handle 540,000 tons of waste annually, 80% of which is municipal waste, with the remaining 20% being non-hazardous commercial and industrial waste.

The RDF will be an efficient and clean substitute for polluting fossil fuels (petcoke).

25% of the facility’s output will be used as alternative fuel at Nesher Israel Cement Enterprise in Ramla.

The facility will save the emission of 165,000 tons of CO2 annually, an amount equivalent to the annual emissions of about 33,000 vehicles.

The waste transferred to the facility is estimated to have an average calorific value of 2,100 kcal/kg, with 40% moisture content. After sorting and processing, Veridis’ RDF calorific values reach over 4,000 kcal/kg, with less than 22% moisture content.
